An interesting mix of early science and Greek mythology: One of the legendary Titans battling Zeus was defeated and decreed to carry the weight of the world on his mighty shoulders. Our Armillary dial, however, has Atlas, made out of aluminum, carrying the entire universe on a granite base. That’s to say the known Renaissance universe, when the earth was still believed to be at its center. Gracefully intertwined brass and aluminum rings symbolize the position and trajectories of heavenly bodies around the earth. In all aspects ethereal, science combined with beauty, myth with historical fact. •Desktop Model with Granite Base, Brass & Aluminum Rings. •18th Century Design, Aluminum Atlas Figurine. •10 Inch Diameter, Armillary. •10" X 10" X 22" Weighs 15 lbs.
